Just send them over to Israel. I hear they are good at making our aircraft fly infinitely better.

I always liked the YF-23 better anyway...
the Black Widow, now that’s a name for an aircraft that’s a killer.

This is close to a design philosophy the Russians have used. Take an existing airframe and modify features rather than going to a clean sheet every time. The advantage is not having to reinvent design technology and finding the intellectual database to make something like that happen i.e. eliminate technical over-reach.
The other thing we desperately need to do is get the government red tape out of the way. Let the innovators innovate. We actually did that with the F-15 and F-16 and their records speak for themselves.

The YF-23 lost in competition with the YF-22 a long time ago. Why he’d be so uniquely qualified to suggest how the F-35 should be updated I have no idea.
